I know I haven't posted much recently, but I've had a fair bit on my mind and my writing energy has been sapped by legitimate work needs.
It's still snowing around here, but at least it's not in town. In fact, it didn't even rain in town on Friday, when it was snowing in the field. We were about 30 miles east of Farmington and about 1000 ft higher up. Admittedly, this wasn't much of a surprise. When you have occasion to work outdoors, you pay attention to the weather forecast simply because it really sucks when it ends up being colder than you're dressed for.
I also stopped by the Ford dealer on Friday. According to their system, my car was built and shipped two weeks ago on April 4. Of course, it needs to travel from the factory in Hermosillo, Mexico (go NAFTA!) by train to Denver before it gets trucked down to Farmington. And of course the transport truck in Denver needs to be full before it leaves. Thus, the expected delivery date to the dealership is still 10 days away, but it may be here sooner. Either way, unless it shows up in the next three days, it might as well take the full 10 days. I suppose I'm kind of excited now that it's so close.
The reason it might as well take 10 days is because I leave for an all too brief vacation on Thursday. At least I can pretend that getting my car is a consolation prize for having my vacation end so soon.

You probably have to decide soon whether this car will be a cash purchase or financed. I say that if you can get 2.9%, you finance it. Go for it.
You have time for vacation! Lying on the beach watching the sunset and sipping some wine cooler in Tahiti. Thinking nothing else except the next vacation, right? Dream on.
